of course the former vp would have no access to secret service, and of course would have no influence as he wasn't elected president yet, and of course hunter would never be a part of any administration anyway.

100% correct! The Secret Service's coverage of a VP isn't for life like it is for a President. It ends six months after they serve. So, yeah. But whoever lets facts and details get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, eh?

Hunter does come across as a bit of a slimeball and for some reason the Republicans eat it up. You know what though? Hunter's not our President! Our President is so unimpeachable they need to attack his family. That they are so unapologetically doing so is the real disgrace.

The entire point of this debacle is that Joe has been using Hunter as a scapegoat and liaison to enact personal corruption. I think you, and everyone else here, knows perfectly well that this isn't just about Hunter. He's not some random man who happens to be connected to Joe Biden. The meme of "I didn't vote for Hunter!" and "you just don't have anything on Joe!" is nonsense. Hunter didn't find himself on the boards of foreign oil and gas companies because of his extensive executive knowledge in how to run oil and gas companies. Joe used his son to personally gain from his political power. Now neither Joe nor his son will face consequences for doing so. This is okay to you because obviously they are not the same person and the idea of them coordinating with each other is utterly impossible.

Sometimes I think the idea of family members interacting with each other is so completely foreign to so many Democrats that they cannot even imagine it...

Sure, Democrats recognize that families work together; the Trump administration saw some epic nepotism, and Democrats definitely recognize that the Trump crime family has been working together shamelessly defrauding people for decades. I guess maybe some day we'll see some concrete evidence that Joe and Hunter conspired to do something similarly illegal together, who knows?

In all of those cases Joe Biden is denying it as well. He is denying that those things are attributable to his family.

Denying his own grandchild is especially egregious and low, as she was proven to be Hunter's daughter with a blood test in 1999.

Yet the Joe and Jill Biden have repeatedly put up stockings at Christmas at the White House for only six of their seven grandchildren, leaving out Navy Joan Roberts.

They did it in Christmas of 2021:

And again in Christmas of 2022:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/nov/28/biden-family-christmas-stockings-exclude-hunters-o/



They reportedly even put Christmas stockings up for the dog and cat at the White House, but not for Navy Joan.

Biden repeatedly states that he has only six grandchildren:

Jill Biden says it as well:

https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/04/06/jill-biden-misstates-number-of-grandchildren-she-and-joe-have/

“We have three children, and we have six grandchildren,” the former second lady said, with her husband adding their grandchildren ranged from “seniors in law school to little infants.”

Reporters have asked White House Press Secretary about this and there is a refusal to answer the question or acknowledge the grandchild as theirs:

According to a Times report, White house aids have been told for years in strategy meetings that President Biden only has six grandkids, excluding Navy Joan

https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/wh-refuses-to-answer-questions-about-bidens-estranged-granddaughter-by-hunter/



The little girl is also not even given secret service protection from kidnapping:

Yes, your guy tried to overthrow the government, has been found in court to have sexually assaulted someone, and kept classified documents he had no right to keep to seem cool to his friends, and this is the kind of thing the Republicans are trying to use to discredit Biden. I already pointed out how amusing it is, you don't really need to continue trying to make me laugh.

Crazy how the Republicans keep latching onto the President's son to try to discredit the President. It's almost like they have nothing tangible to attack the President himself about. We even see it in at least half of the grievances used in that meme Tom just shared (I say at least half because, predictably, a lot of people seem convinced that the cocaine was Hunter's).

I'm still not sure what you guys see in this guy.

-Inflation was inevitable after the last couple years and it's going downward on his watch.
-I don't even know what this is referring to. Did the Republicans cook up another fake scandal that I somehow missed??
-What reason does anybody have to think it was his cocaine?

So how do conservatives feel about Hunter being guilty of the two things Conservatives love: buying guns and not paying taxes?

Haha, guys, isn't it funny that a decade of corruption gets punished with a slap on the wrist and minimal charges for petty crimes?

That's politics for you. *shrug*

I want to hook up with a space babe as much as anyone but there are no aliens.
There's no such thing as an 'earth-like' planet.
All the data we have about exoplanets shows our cosmos is an inhospitable sewer. The Drake equation with solve showing one civilization per galaxy.

Aliens aren't real but they do make awesome clickbait

This is just 21st century geocentrism.

Really until we've actually seen some kind of proof they exist aliens are nothing better than speculative fiction.

So were exoplanets until the 1990s.

Yes, that's how it works. We have evidence of exoplanets now, therefore they are no longer speculative fiction, like cell phones or the internet. Skies full of flying cars, time travel, and aliens remain nothing more than speculative fiction.

Aliens exist because that's the boring, expected option.

Right, that's the history of science in a nutshell, huh? Everything we have ever expected to be the case has always been the case because of our infallible human minds. Great point, I guess we can close the book on this one.

Does birth control increase the risk of suicide or suicidal ideations?

Some people have a negative reaction to certain birth controls and others don't. Doctors need to be better about communicating that shit and also not be so scared of prescribing birth control pills with higher doses of estrogen which can help with mood and low libido which are common symptoms of low estrogen. There's really no reason a young woman with no health issues needs to be on low estrogen bc pills.

But yeah, hormones are fun and tricky and OBGYNs aren't really that great at handling it. Birth control pills are medically necessary for some people but at the same time there's still a lot to figure out about women's health. Yay!

Even now women are kind of an afterthought when it comes to medical research in general. My sister complains about that all the time, and she can back it up. It's really a shame.

The whitehouse saved Trump's ripped up documents, as they have admitted. They have also saved his circling of pictures, crossing out of paragraphs, and so on. All of this is presidental communication, some of which may become a part of a presidential library and museum.

Did they save the fake hurricane Sharpie picture?

All that says is that he has the right to access the documents. It doesn't say he has the right to just take them. And what you just quoted explicitly says they are to be stored at an archival facility. Nice try though Tom, keep it up!

Whatever you want to think is fine, you can do what you want as far as I'm concerned, but what honk said was not an opinion. It was a statement of fact.

Except it's not. That's why the pharmaceutical companies have literally paid billions over the years to vaccine-damaged people.

We're not talking about past vaccines. You should try to focus on the topic better.

The vaccine was fine. We haven't been poisoned, sterilized, or harmed at all, and have fared far better against covid than the unvaxed. This isn't a "wait and see" thing. We've already waited and seen. You guys were wrong about the vaccine.

If you think you haven't been "poisoned, sterilized, or harmed at all", that's your opinion.

Not an opinion.

Yes, it is an opinion, because if I get poisoned right now with anything, my body will react and it will get rid of the poison (or at least it will try). Therefore, if I didn't get harmed it's because my body did its job, not because I didn't get poisoned. That's also why vaccines are unneeded, even if they worked.
